When The Kooks are in the studio they’re focused and most importantly, sober. Watch Hugh and Luke explain their reasoning below.

Natalia dishes the latest in entertainment news on Joan Rivers, Lana Del Rey and a brand new trailer for the movie Hunger Games.

Daniel Radcliffe is back with his new movie The Woman In Black. It’s a bone chilling remake of a film from the ’80s. Ironically, Daniel actually scares very easily but he’s not afraid of ghosts. In this interview he tells us what really gives him the creeps.
Next time you’re struggling to make conversation, try asking this question: “If you could invite anyone (living or dead) to the perfect house party, who would it be?”
Graffiti6 is starting to make their North American invasion, and they are hitting up the Tonight Show. Does this sound familiar? Well the Beatles made the exact same journey over 40 years ago. Naturally, @jordans_life had to make some comparisons.
Nick plays World of Warcraft. Not only that, he’s the head of his guild, demonstrating that it IS possible to juggle being a hardcore gamer with being a top-selling recording artist.
During a LIVE interview on andPOP.com Nick Carter gave out a number and took phone calls from his fans. These were real phone calls from real fans who we gave exclusive access to one of the biggest recording artists of our generation.
There were great questions about music, fitness, the backstreet boys but the most popular question, however, was about his underwear. In this clip Nick talks about his his ‘Haynes’ and covering his fans with glow in the dark paint.
When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.
Diamandis from Marina and The Diamonds talks to us about her very serious disease. It’s called synaesthetic. And we lied, it’s not a disease. More like a cool condition. Diamandis explains further.
Would you be embarrassed if someone scrolled through your iPod? We sit down with Spee and Brendan to talk about the diverse music on their playlist.

TORONTO, Ont. (andPOP) – The city of Toronto honoured the emergence of Urban music in Canada Wednesday at the ?Urban X-Posure Music Awards?, as all of the leading figures in the industry turned out for the party at the Phoenix Concert Theatre. Both, musicians and the people that work behind the scenes, enjoyed a party atmosphere, with everybody being happy to be able to celebrate this monumental event for Urban music. There were no penguin suits, and no fake smiles. As Sol Guy (1 of 4 Lifetime Achievement Award Winners) said in a very eloquently presented speech, Canadian artists must continue to be themselves, Canadian, Urban, and ?keeping it real?.
Urban X-Posure is just the latest in what has been and will continue to be a spectacular year for urban music. Earlier in the year, ?Flow 93.5?, became the first Canadian Urban music station to hit the airwaves. While, later this year, the first All-Urban Video television network will be debuted. By standards of the Canadian Radio Television Commission, all television stations must play 50% Canadian content, while radio stations must play 33%. With that in mind, Canadian Urban music has received great rotation on Flow 93.5, and with the new television station, homegrown artists are going to be seen through media outlets across Canada.
Co-hosted by the always-humorous Russel Peters, Urban X-Posure offered laughs, ideas for the future, and a lot of awards. In fact, there were actually too many awards for most of the audience, as the audience dwindled down to mere dozens by the time Choclair and the Rascals gave an uninspired performance to end the night. Kardinal Offishall and his hit song ?Bakardi Slang? took home three awards including Best Hip-Hop/Rap Recording, and Best Music Video. Meanwhile, Baby Blue Sound Crew took home two awards for Best New Artist, and Best R&B/Soul Recording. Lenn Hammond, nephew of award winning reggae artist Beres Hammond, took home the award for Best Reggae Recording.
However, there is no question that the real winner on this night was the Urban Music industry itself. This was a night to celebrate how far Canada has come in such a short period of time. Whether it be Gospel, Rap/Hip-Hop, R&B, or Reggae, and whether it be radio, television, or even web-sites, Canadian Urban Music talent is making its mark, both here, and around the world as well.
August 1st, 2002, look for Urban X-Posure to be bigger and much better.
Now if you?ll excuse me, I need to go download the T-Dot Anthem by IRS, another great Hip-Hop song dedicated to the streets and activities of Toronto.
